Zucchini Blueberry Bread

by aimee @ shugarysweets on August 18, 2011

I found another zucchini in the garden. All big and plump, it just had to be shredded. But I’ve made so much bread, muffins, fried stuff…I didn’t think I could eat another zucchini. Then I found this recipe, and I knew exactly what I was going to do. I love blueberries, so for me, it was the right thing to do to add them into this bread. I had to add a little extra baking time, but it turned out beautiful. My only wish was that I should have doubled the recipe, because it was so good.

    I noticed you add lemon zest to this. I’ve made zucchini blueberry bread a few times and I like to add orange zest to it. It’s really good.

    I just made this and it turned out super yummy! I only changed two things by omitting the nutmeg (preference) and I used an egg-replacer since my son is anaphylactic to eggs. I also used 4 mini loaf pans so I can easily freeze for lunch however I have a feeling it wont last to make it into the freezer :) thanks for sharing.

    I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe Sarah! I’m looking forward to some fresh zucchini from my garden this summer to make and freeze this again! Thanks for the feedback :)
